The Pros And Cons Of Genetic Engineering
Hook:
Thesis Statement: An ethical dilemma has surfaced, allowing parents to genetically modify their child. Genetic modification has the ability to improve health, change physical appearance, and provide medical professionals with new information through a powerful tool known as CRISPR technology.
(Improving Health)Topic Sentence:
A poll was conducted by Harvard T.H Chan School of Public. 65% think, changing the genes of an embryo to reduce the risk of certain diseases should be illegal. Society perceives by modifying genes, children who are diagnosed with diseases such as Down Syndrome are thought as “undesirable”. Genetic engineering offers an opportunity for children ...(basically if you had a child that you knew was going to have some disease, wouldn’t you want to try to prevent the disease? Not saying so that they can be “normal” but enjoy ughhhhh i don't know how to explain this). In past studies, Paul Serhal, Medical Director of the Assisted Conception Unit, designed a British baby to be free of the breast cancer gene which had affected three generations of her father’s family. Avoiding these “diseases” and solely keeping the healthy genes, increases the lifespan of a designer child up to thirty years.

Changing the physical appearance of children has been a widely controversial topic since the 20th century. When Harvard T.H Chan School of Public was asked about physical and intelligence genes being modified, 83% thought it should be illegal. Changing physical properties such as eye color and hair color depend on the ethical views of the parent and are solely done to satisfy the parents wants. However, simply making a child taller due to a growth deficiency shouldn’t be deemed
